Love Lettou from FINAL HOME
April 5 (Thu) - April 18 (Wed)

From the brand FINAL HOME, presented by the designer Kosuke Tsumura, with love. A message of freedom and regeneration is transmitted based on the key words “Love Lettou.”
Following the event at ELTTOB TEP ISSEY MIYAKE/GINZA, select products from FINAL HOME, including the transparent FINAL HOME See through series and the Love Lettou series, will be offered for a limited time. Special installations are also scheduled during this period.


FINAL HOME
“If I were to lose my home because of a disaster, war,
or loss of job, what kind of clothes would I, as a fashion designer, offer?
And what would such clothes look like in good times?”

The HOME 1 nylon coat took shape in response to this question, which Kosuke Tsumura, the designer of FINAL HOME, asked himself. The product has been made continuously since the inauguration of the brand in 1994.

The concept of these products is clothes that can be tailored to personal use. For example, the coat insulates against the cold when the pockets are stuffed with newspapers, and it can be used for evacuation if you equip it with survival rations and a medical kit. The name “FINAL HOME” was given to this coat with the idea of it making it the “ultimate shelter.”


Exhibition: OTAMATONE
April 19 (Thu) to May 9 (Wed)

During this period, installations using the “Otamatone,” a musical instrument produced by the art unit “Maywa Denki,” will be in place. Although the Otamatone, looks like a musical note-shaped toy, is actually a functional electronic instrument that can be played. A diorama with Otamatones dressed up in costumes expressing various genres of music will also be on display.
On April 21 (Sat), a live music event by Maywa Denki using their original musical instruments will be held. You will need to reserve your space via e-mail to participate in this event. Please refer to the following information and visit our store on the day of the event.
